Some things hipsters like are cool. I think the general disdain comes from the fact that the penultimate hipster does not actually do or like anything they actually enjoy, but rather live with a very carefully crafted image of what everyone says should be cool. Also the smugness. And doing everything "ironically."

But that makes them ridiculous. Like a cat that's got it's too cool for you demeanor on, and then it does something klutzy. D'aww. Hipsters.

A girl I went to high school with put it best regarding hipsters:



(I pressured her into starting that there vlog... Though she hasn't posted anything in a few weeks. :gonk: )

But yeah. Watch it. :drool: It's a bit quiet, so crank up the volume!

Note: She's also a self-identifying hipster, for the record. :lol:

Would love to! Looking up the dets now. I saw it at Central Theater a few years ago and it ruled. <3

It's the Biggles bump ::nods:: Like the Colbert bump, but with girlish, rather than faux-conservative, overtones.

I like girlish overtones better anyway. :talk2hand: Otherwise you end up like Arnold Schwarzenhosen and... Well, need I say more? :roll:

Not quite sure how to revive this, so here's a wooden lamp:

Landscape design, yes. Gardening goes along with that. It is a leisure activity in this day and age, after all.

It resorts to splinters because it can't blow a rape whistle, Bra.

I dunno, Biggles. :roll: The second video down with the weirdo lady making crackling noises every time she touches something reminds me a bit too much of Saladfingers.

...Whom I love. :shock: But man. Seeing him fondle his nipple in person with nettles just isn't my cup of tambourines, y'know?

I think I'm just not a very fancy person, I never feel I have anything to add... :lol:

My idea of fanciness is a tea party with Saladfingers, so I'm in your boat, Cherry. :hug:

But yeah, I dunno. Fancy stuff bores me; I was stuck in a friggin' suburban tearoom with my mom this past Thursday and it more or less pissed me off to bits.
Contrivance just ain't no friend of mine. :lol:

Now, see, I also hate dressing in formal wear, because men's formal wear is about as thrilling as anything else inherently heteronormative. :roll:

At any rate, I suppose it depends on your definition of 'fancy'. :ninja: I love hand-knit things, and would personally deem them 'fancier' than a $300 Vera Bradley bag. :P

I'd go to a tea room with your mum in your place, Bra. There were cucumber sandwiches, right?

You are sort of, undercurrent fancy, cherrs, I promise :hug:

I LOVE CUCUMBER SANDWICHES! :drool: Believe me, my problem wasn't with the sandwiches and the tea (I had a nice rooibos mojito... :drool:) - it's just how they doll up the tearooms and make it so much more pretentious and presumptive than it all really is. I just don't get the frills about things like that, y'know?

(I'm a huge tea enthusiast, so maybe I need to just find a tearoom that's more plain and dreary. :lol:)

We have such a nice, funky little tea shop on the island. Not tea roomy in the food selection (just a few baked goods to choose from and some miso soup), but it's pretty damn nice overall.

Facade - You kidding me? I wish I could wear a men's suit. Not a tux, but a suit. There are some damn nice men's suits. :drool:

Biggs - Undercurrent fancy! \o/ As implied previously, I'm working on a garden... but that currently includes a fair deal of labor and getting dirty, so not so fancy. But enjoying the outdoors and flowers is fancy, right? So... there goes that undercurrent, currenting under things!

The taking in of the outdoors is tremendously fancy. Trips to the seaside, the obsession with the pastoral in eras like the roccoco, the landscape painting tradition... it's all been spelled out in history.

I too love men's wear and tend to gravitate towards it. I mean, just look at that picture of me in the Howse, waistcoat and all.

I look silly in menswear, so all I can aspire to is the occasional menswear-inspired piece and the hope that Daniel wouldn't notice if I tried to dress him.
